Questing from April 11th to April 14th

My quest runs from April 11th to 14th contained some epic level quests and slayer runs, some runs through the Anniversary party, some low level quest and slayer runs, and some time in Sands of Menechtarun. Things kicked off on Monday when I took Rimuldar to Eveningstar and into the King’s Forest. I didn’t have a whole a lot of time to do some questing prior to work but I did collect another 11 kills, with one of them being a dire bear, and I completed the random encounter for helping out the Eveningstar healer. In the afternoon, I took Hamllin into the Sands of Menechtarun and ventured into the Valley of the False Tombs and collected another 60 slayers in the undead category. However, he only came across one of the rare encounters out there, The Thirsty One. To close the night out, while playing my digital DnD game, I took Wapoyei into the Anniversary Party and collected four party favors after I completed all of the objectives.

On Tuesday, I started my questing with another one of my dwarves, Garrrin. Like Rimuldar, Garrrin is working on his slayers in the King’s Forest. Garrrin collected 18 more slayers while roaming around the grand forest including a dire bear. He also came across the random encounter to slaves of many masters but I couldn’t defeat the drow fast enough and failed that encounter this particular time. In the afternoon, it was Erdrique’s turn to head into the Sands of Menechtarun and during this run he made his way past the Windlasher Canyon and into the Scar to collect some scorrow slayers. While out there he picked up six gnoll and 87 scorrow slayers. He also took down Mendexethazz, Utach Sandcrawl, and Wokran-kull. He also looted some interesting items from these chests including Frigid 12 (insightful fire resistance 12) of Tumble 12 Bracers (masterful craftsmanship), Sting, and an Alluring 5 (+5 Charisma) Ring of Combustion (66 Fire Spell Power). My run Tuesday night was a dual boxing session with Berann and Containment. I took both of them into quest, The Snitch to continue on with the Phiarlan Carnival Series. They completed the optional objectives for slaying Rusty and in returning the letter. At the end of the run, Berann scored 700 points of favor and his second rank in House Phiarlan favor and Containment reached 600 points of favor.

Wednesday, I started the day off with another dual boxing session, this time with Cannock and Crawlller. I took them into Tangleroot Gorge, as Cannock was my primary focus for this run and he is still working on that area. Crawlller already has this particular area maxed out. While making my way through the jungle along the Tangleroot River, Cannock collected another 27 slayers and defeated the rare encounter Silkweave. In the afternoon, I took Hamllin back into the desert and into the Valley of the False Tombs. He collected another 117 slayers and defeated the rare encounters Palumak and Whirling Ozan. From Palumak, he looted a Dusk Heart. Those were the only runs I made that day, as it was date night :).

To close out the week, all of my runs on Thursday were within the Sands of Menechtarun. I started out by taking Tuhnn into the Burning Mountain Region to fight off the firebrand gnolls. While hunting in the desert, Tuhnn collected 89 more slayers in gnolls. He also found and defeated Haraja, Vorvand, and Lieutenant Ayurro. By defeating Vorvand and Ayurro, he was able to complete all of the rare encounters in the desert. He also looted the Gloves of the Falcon from Ayurro’s chest. He also hit 750 gnoll slayers. In the afternoon, I took Erdrique into the Menechtarun Desert and back into the Scar. During this run, Erd picked up another six gnoll slayers and 88 scorrow slayers. As a result, he hit the 1,500 slayer mark for scorrow. He also came across Utach Sandcrawl and Volrune the Curate. For my nightly run, I logged on with Sludgge and he also ventured into the sun baked Menechtarun Desert. He also made his way to the Scar and to make his way to the quest, An Offering of Blood. On his way to the quest, he collected 89 scorrow slayers. Once inside the quest, Sludgge gathered a few monster manual deeds. He picked up scorpion exterminator I for 423 experience, scorrow hunter for 2,260 experience, and scorrow exterminator for 1,130 experience. During this run, Sluddge picked up two scrolls: Scroll of the Xuum and Scroll of the Bracers of Deftness. He also picked up 41 fragments of the token of the twelve and received eight commendations of valor as a quest reward.

Overall it wasn’t a bad week. I had a nice mixture of quest runs. Thanks for reading everybody and happy hunting!!
